Europe’s Gas Demand Implodes: LNG Imports to Plunge 20% by 2030, Russian Flows at Historic Lows
Europe’s gas use is projected to fall sharply, with the IEA forecasting a 10% drop by 2030 and IEEFA predicting a 15% decline. Russian pipeline gas now covers less than 10% of European demand, while U.S. LNG supplies 57% of LNG imports. EU ministers agreed in October to ban all Russian gas by 2027. European gas storage sits at 83% full, below the seasonal norm.
